Gameplay

Teams of three fighters clash, with one active at a time while the others are called in for support and swaps. Combat uses free 3D movement, combo strings, and flashy special abilities across large arenas. The roster gathers characters from franchises such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach, and includes a create-a-character avatar system.

Story

The real world and the Jump universes collide as an army of mind-controlled villains called Venoms invades. Fighters unite under the Jump Force organization to push back, while a hidden manipulator schemes to merge every world into one and seize a mysterious artifact.

Reception

Reviews come in mixed, with Metacritic scores across platforms landing in the 50s and low 60s; critics knock the thin story, stiff gameplay, and unmet pre-release hype while noting the crossover's fan appeal. Sales start strong, ranking among North America's best-selling games of 2019, yet the game is later delisted from storefronts in February 2022 and its online services close that August.
